Consider a string of total length L, made up of three segments of equal length. The mass per unit length of the first segment is u, that of the second is 2µu, and that of the third u/4. The third segment is tied to a wall, and the string is stretched by a force of magnitude T applied to the first segment; T, is much greater than the total weight of the string.
